Values in Marmaduke Cradock rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. The highest-chroma note - #37190C - appears at just 4.7%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 50 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 5 of Marmaduke Cradock's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
